Isn't rock and roll and especially garage/punk rock all about "posing?" Isn't it more about standing in front of the mirror with a tennis racket for a guitar and deciding to be a rock star as opposed to sitting at the end of your bed practicing scales? Wasn't that whole British invasion thing as much about the look as it was the sound? Isn't choosing not to wear stage gear a contrived "image?" It’s all been done. Image. Anti-image. I’ll take the image please. Trust me. In a noisy club with crappy sound, your music doesn’t do the talking for you like you think.
After all, do we do this to blend in or do we do this to stand out? Being tatted up with a Mohawk is every bit as mainstream now as Pat Boone was in 1959. My band Thee Mighty Shake Spears played the punk rock club the other night. All the tribes were present. All the countercultures represented. We walked in to the place in drainpipe trousers and Chelsea boots with coats and skinny ties and people were like what the…? We were every bit as confrontational dressed that way in that environment as the punks were in 1977 London. I’d rather walk in the room and have somebody say that dude is in the band as opposed to having them wonder whether or not I’m just there tuning the guitar for the actual band.

Hi gang, I'm Dave, 47, and I live in Portland, Oregon.
I love loud, rude music of all kinds- R&B, Rockabilly, 60s Punk, Freakbeat, Aussie punk, etc.,
as well as smoother stuff like soul, ska/rocksteady, triphop, and more... What I'm guessing most of y'all like, too.
Love indie comics like the Hernandez Bros. Love and Rockets, Peter Bagge's Hate, Roberta Gregory's Naughty Bits...
Dark and quirky movies like The Loved One, Ghost World, Quadrophenia...
I don't see shows anymore, but love finding new music and like-minded souls here,
Cheers to you all, Dave

Hey, Missy, welcome! Sounds like you had a blast in Paris (who wouldn't, right?)! Nottingham sounds intrigueing, are the X-rays still around? Also, just found this yesterday-Jerry's Kids - Spymaster
Best, Dave

I may as well pitch in - I've been a garage/punk/surf/psych fan for about 15 years now, live in the North of England and love THe Creation, Love, The Seeds, The Monks, Count Five, Nuggets, Billy CHildish, blah blah blah. I also love surf punk, and am amassing a large exotica collection also!
I'm into film also - Mondo movies, 60s psych/B movies, French new wave, Comic books, and I make a lot of my own clothes these days (since vintage prices have shot up lately!).
I went to Paris last week and spent too much money in Born Bad records, and looking forward to going to the Blast Off festival in Nottingham with my husband later this year!

Yeah, it's pretty goofy. Bill isn't too fond of it. I think the editing could've been better, which is probably why he didn't want me to tag him when I posted it on Facebook, haha! It's also pretty low-quality, but keep in mind, this was made back in Feb. 2004 before YouTube or any of that stuff really took off. It also preceded Bill's Lo-Fi Saint Louis videoblog.
I do look pretty young, don't I? A youthful 38, in fact.

"Picture sleeves are for children" Roy Loney , Flamin' Groovies.
(Roy told me this , himself. I could'nt argue with HIM ! Besides if you had 1/250th of the records HE has , you'd start narrowin' it down , too. It IS a funny line.).
Goldmine : So , tell us what it was like , playing at the Lollapalooza , Roky.
Roky : We went to Margie's . It's an ice cream place. The Beatles ate there , y'know.

I still like the fuzztones, even though the singer does sound like a bit of an ass. But if I quit listening to every band that acted like dicks, I'd have a pretty small record collection.

The most famous (and best) garage band to come out of Calgary is the Von Zippers
February 21, 2012 3:43 PM CST
OOOOOKEY... I have been on the low end with this one here....time to catch up:
Freddi's KICKS FROM THE BOOT #32 is bad ass and comes with a free comp to download!
STW's BIG ENCHILADA #45 is a real live Freakshow routine, also having a lot of download links for free stuff!
Mr A's YOU GOT GOOD TASTE #43 is the shit and you better smell! He's also got a new line of events coming up called WEIRDSVILLE + with bands
The SONIC NIGHTMARES team of goons has whupped the glove in it's own face with episode #57 - sorry no additional free stuff, with the already free stuff! Looks like 57 is my lucky number.
Not meaning to single out already popular shows, these have just been on my replay list, hope to add more soon!
February 21, 2012 10:32 AM CST
